IMPROVEMENT INV LAME-Bomans.-

Specitlcaton forming part of Letters Patent No. 36,262, dated August 19, 1862.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMIL TE1Tr1N,of Philadelphia, in ythe county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Lamp-Burner5 and I do hereby declare that the following isa full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, makinga part of this specitication, in which- Figure l is a vertical central section of my invention taken in the line x x, Fig. 3; Fig. 2, a horizontal section of the same, taken in the line y y, Fig. I. Fig. 3 is a plan or top vieW of the same. y

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.

This invention consists in forming the wick-l tube ofthe burner of two parts connected together in such a manner that the upper part will be insulated from the lower part and the wick-tube thereby prevented from conducting heat down to the fountain or reservoir of the lamp, so as to prevent an undue evaporation or volatilization of the oil,and consequently a too copious supply of vapor to the Haine.

The invention also consists in a novel way of fitting the cone and jacket to the burner, whereby the former is insulated from the latter and heat also prevented from being con'- ducted below to the fountain.

the lower part of the wick-tube, which is ser cured vertically and centrally in A and has a bearing attached to it for. a rod, C, on which two serrated wheels, a a, are placed to raise and lower the wick, said wheels passing through slots bin B, as usual.

The upper part of Ais formed of a series of points, c, to the ends of which a circular plate, D, is attached, the periphery of which is provided with aseries of points, d, as shown clearly in Fig. 2. At the center of the plate D there 'is a circular raised ledge, e, which is surrounded at its base'with perforations f, (shown clearly in Fig. 2,) and to the center of the ledge e the lower end of the upper part, E, of the wick-tube is attached.

The two parts B E of the wick-tube are in line with each other, and a space, g, is allowed between them, as shown clearly in Fig. 1. By thisarrangement the upper part, E, of the Wick-tube is insulated from the lower part, B, and heat, therefore, is prevented from being conducted down to the fountain of the lamp.`

F represents the cone or deflector of the burner, which is of the usual form, and has a skirt or jacket, G, of conical form, attached to its lower end. This skirt or jacket rests on the points d of the circular plate D, as shown in Fig. 1. By thus attaching the skirt or jacket to the burner it is insulated from the burner, and therefore cannot serve to conduct heat down to the lower part, A, of the burner.

The burner is thus constructed with a divided wick-tube or one constructed of two parts, and by having the skirt or jacket fitted on the burner, as described, the oil in the fountainis kept comparatively cool and the iiame not supplied with an undue amount of vapor or not in excess of the oxygen, and consequently perfect or complete combustion is obtained without a chimney.

Having thus described my' invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. Constructing the wick-tube of two parts, B E, connected together by the plate D and points 'c of the lower part, A, of the burner,

with a space, g, between them, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.

2. In combination with the wick-tube thus constructed, the jacket G, supported on the burner by the points d of the plateD, as and for the Vpurpose specified.

l EMIL TRITTIN.
